Amaç: Üniversite öğrencilerinde uyku sağlığı bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Üniversite öğrencileri genellikle yetersiz uyku kalitesine sahiptir ve özellikle akşam tipi (E-tipi) uykuyu tercih etmektedirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yurtlarda yaşayan üniversite öğrencilerinin (n= 380) uyku tercihleri ile sağlığın sosyal belirleyicileri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel bir çalışmadır. Veri toplama araçları Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Üniversite Öğrencileri için Sağlığın Sosyal Belirleyicileri Ölçeği ve Sabah-Akşam Uyku Ölçeği'dir.
Bulgular: Bu çalışma, sağlığın sosyal belirleyicileri ile uyku tercihleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (p<0,05). Üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçları azaldıkça sabah uykusunu (r: -0,628) ve sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçları arttıkça akşam uykusunu (r:0,673) tercih ettikleri görüldü.
Sonuç: E-tipi üniversite öğrencilerinin uyku kalitelerini artırmak için sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması gerekmektedir. Sağlık profesyonelleri, halk sağlığı hemşireleri ve ya sosyal hizmet uzmanları sağlığın sosyal belirleyicilerini tespit edebilir ve sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçları olan üniversite öğrencileri için müdahale stratejileri uygulayabilir.

The Role of Social Determinants of Health in Chronotypes Among College Students: A Cross-Sectional Study

Öz

Objective: Sleep health in college students is a public health concern. College students are commonly described as having poor sleep quality, especially those who prefer evening-type (E-type) sleep. Identifying the social determinants of chronotypes may facilitate a better understanding of why such students prefer E-type sleep. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between social determinants and the sleep preferences of college students living in dormitories (n= 380).
Method: This is descriptive-relational research. The data collection tools included Personal information form, Social Determinants of Health Scale for University Students, and Morningness-Eveningness Stability Scale.
Results: This study revealing a statistically significant relationship between social determinants of health and sleep preferences (p< .05). The study found that college students seemed to prefer morning sleep as their social health needs decreased (r: -0.628) and evening sleep (r: 0.673) as their social health needs increased, concluding that the social health needs of E-type college students should be met in order to improve their sleep quality.
Conclusion: Health professionals, public health nurses, and social workers may identify social determinants of health and employ intervention strategies for college students with social health needs.
